HOW TO INSTALL THE MAGIC MOON
Before operating the Magic Moon, you will need to install the lamp and mount a suitable
plug on the mains lead. Please do as follows:
IMPORTANT
Before attempting any of the following please ensure that the unit is
disconnected from any mains power.
Mounting the mains plug:
The Magic Moon may be delivered from the factory without a plug on the mains lead. You
must mount a suitable plug (one that fits your local wall outlet) before you can connect
the unit to the mains. The double isolated mains lead on the Magic Moon contains three
wires. The brown wire should be connected to LIVE, the blue wire to NEUTRAL, and the
Yellow/Green wire to EARTH (ground).
Installing the lamp:
Loosen the 8 self tapping screws which secure the top cover to the unit, then remove the
top cover.
Hold the lamp by the ceramic parts or hold in a clean cloth, taking care not to touch the
glass, and then push the lamp firmly into the lamp-socket. Lamp specifications are listed
in the ’Technical Specifications’ table on page 3. If you do touch the glass part of the
lamp with your fingers you must clean it thoroughly with alcohol before use.
Replace the top cover and tighten the screws.
Setting the mains voltage selector:
Locate the mains voltage selector on the rear panel of the Magic Moon, and set it to
either 115 V or 230 V according to your local mains supply.
You can now install the Magic Moon in the desired position. The mounting bracket allows
you to tilt the unit ±30 degrees with respect to horizontal position.

OPERATING THE MAGIC MOON
Switch on power to the Magic Moon, and the light will turn on. Sounds are picked up by a
built-in microphone, thus sound activating both the color changing mirror and the beam
rotation to the beat of the music. A special electronic circuit - the Automatic Gain Control -
serves to adjust the gain when the average sound pressure alters. For this reason you will
not see any potentiometer for adjusting the sensitivity of the microphone.
IMPORTANT
The motors in the Magic Moon are controlled via an electronic circuit. For this
reason, you should not attempt to dim the Magic Moon by means of a dimmer
pack or any similar equipment. Otherwise, damage might occur to the Magic Moon.
However, it is legal to use the full on and full off levels on the dimmer pack as well
as using a switch pack to remotely switch on and off the Magic Moon.
